What foods are best for prepping ahead of time?

When it comes to meal prepping, choosing the right foods can make all the difference in saving time and keeping meals fresh. Ingredients like cooked grains (rice, quinoa, or couscous) and roasted vegetables (carrots, sweet potatoes, and broccoli) are excellent options since they store and reheat well.

Proteins such as grilled chicken, baked tofu, or hard-boiled eggs are versatile and can be used in various recipes throughout the week. Foods like overnight oats, chia pudding, or homemade granola bars make fantastic grab-and-go meals or snacks.

The key is to pick items that maintain their flavor and texture after a few days in the fridge, making it easy to throw together a delicious meal in minutes.
